Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine is a family favorite creamy & comfort classy pasta casserole, perfect for weeknight meals and fancy dinner parties.

Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine

Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine

Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine is a close cousin of my very popular Instant Pot Tuna Noodle Casserole and is just as simple to make.

But, don’t tell anyone in your family this until you make it for dinner and they tell you much they love this recipe.

The rich and creamy “dynamite” sauce with hints of dijon mustard is definitely a recipe quality meal. Using your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker, Creamy Dijon Shrimp Linguine will be the star at your next dinner party.

Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine can be made with any type of pasta or noodles, but I think that Linguine is really spot on in this recipe and makes it such a warm and comforting meal.

Ingredients to Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine

  • Linguine
  • Shrimp – Scallops can be used too or in place of!
  • Mayonnaise
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Heavy Cream
  • Better than Bouillon Chicken Base (to make Chicken Broth)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Shaoxing Wine – major flavor booster.
  • Peas
Preheat Instant Pot and Add Butter

Preheat Instant Pot and Add Butter

When adding a fat to a stainless steel pot, it is always important to first heat up the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker fully.

“Sauté,” “Browning,” “Heat,” or “Meat,” if your brand of pressure cooker does not have a function for sautéing/browning.

 

Dice Onions While Pot is Heating

Dice Onions While Pot is Heating

There is very little work in this recipe and efficiency is key.

I’m cutting up the onions while the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker is preheating.

 

Let Onions Sweat

Let Onions Sweat

The cook time is so short and why the onions are diced into small pieces.

 

Seasonings and Shaoxing

Seasonings and Shaoxing

This is a huge secret and trick. Grab yourself a bottle of Shaoxing Chinese Rice Wine Vinegar. It adds so much rich flavor to recipes and it great for deglazing pots.

What is Shaoxing?

  • Shaoxing is a traditional Chinese wine, which has been fermented from rice. It is pronounced ‘shaou shing.’ Originating from the region of Shaoxing  in the Zhejiang province of eastern China, Shaoxing wine is international well known and is used for cooking and drinking.
  • Shaoxing is used in the same manner as a good Sherry wine (meant for drinking) is used in cooking. It is great to use to deglaze a cooking pot or skillet an adds a big flavor boost. It is never recommended to use bottles of Sherry labeled “cooking wing,” which are found in grocery stores. If you ever see “cooking Sherry” in any recipe, run and run fast.
  • As a good Sherry can be pricey, Shaoxing is the perfect substitute, because not only is its very economical, it gives the same exact flavor boost.

My Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff and Instant Pot Creamy Parmesan Garlic Mushroom Chicken are the best you are going to find and both use Shaoxing for deglazing.

 

Yummy Creaminess, Cream, Mayo and Dijon

Yummy Creaminess, Cream, Mayo and Dijon

I know this sounds odd, but have you ever ordered Dynamite at a Sushi Bar? The one we frequent makes a California roll with Dynamite on top. OMG, heaven.

That!

 

Better than Bouillon Chicken Base is Ace!

Better than Bouillon Chicken Base is Ace!

Chicken broth is used so much in recipes and I suggest that you keep as jar of Better than Bouillon Chicken Base in your refrigerator at all times. It calls for one teaspoon of base to one cup of water. I usually make that teaspoon a generous one.

My trusty Rösle Stainless Steel Flat Whisk is perfect for whisking the base with water, as well as for whisking in the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise.

What Can Be Used in Place of Shrimp?

  • This is a great question. This recipe is very versatile as the flavor profile can be changed so easily just by changing out the protein.
  • Shellfish (frozen) such as scallops, crab legs, lobster will all work well. Salmon, Swordfish, Mahi Mahi and other firm types of fish can be used.
  • For those with seafood allergies, cubes of beef, such as chuck roast and flank steak can be used.
  • Pork shoulder and pork loin are also good choices.

We all have such different tastes, likes and favorite flavor combinations. Always use what you love and don’t be afraid to switch out an ingredient for something you love better.

The point of cooking and recipes is to have someplace to start and to have fun cooking and then eating.

 

FROZEN Shrimp or Seafood

FROZEN Shrimp or Seafood

Can Pasta Shells Be Used in Dijon Shrimp Linguine?

  • Sure thing. Pick your favorite noodle or pasta and go with it. The cook time is determined by what type of pasta is being used.
  • We like linguine the best for this recipe as the cook time is perfect and it looks fancier than shells or penne.

Pro Tip: If possible, try to use DeCecco brand of pasta when cooking in an Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker, as DeCecco tends to holds up so much better under pressure and it is easy to achieve al dente pasta. Also, IMO, it tastes better.

 

Add Frozen Peas and Stir

Add Frozen Peas and Stir

Pasta will be on the firm side here and the linguine will continue to absorb the liquid. Add as many peas as you like!

Tips and Tricks for Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine

  • Make sure to fully heat up the cooking pot before adding in the oil and butter.
  • Have all ingredients measured out, as the recipe comes together quickly.
  • Keep shrimp and peas frozen until ready to use.
  • If using jumbo or large shrimp, cut them in half.
  • Keep shrimp on top of pasta and don’t mix it in until after cooking.

Is your mouth watering yet? For those who have a spouse or family member who refuses to eat hot tuna, I can’t wait for you to make Instant Pot Dijon Shrimp Linguine and then tell them, hey, this is almost like tuna noodle casserole, see what you have been missing all this time!

Now, if you are battling peas, try maybe snow peas or another veggie with a little crispness or snap.

    Yummy! For sure. However, no peas allowed in my house, strawberries either. I can’t stand either one them. Let alone the smell. So moving on. When a recipe calls for peas, I use edamame. I also use only home made pastas. If I use the pasta right after making it. (Not letting it dry). I would knock of 1 to 1 1/2 min. And use smaller shrimp, or sauté the shrimp, add back in at appropriate time using the larger. (By the way, love your book)

    Can I make the shrimp demon linguini with frozen precooked cleaned tails off shrimp? How would cook time have to be adjusted or changed?

    If you bought frozen raw shrimp with shell on, how do you clean the shell off and still cook the shrimp frozen? Couldn’t find any raw shrimp that was cleaned!!

    Love the unique flavor, so much better than buying a sauce at the store! I added mushrooms and substituted miso sauce for the Worcestershire Sauce since I was out, tasted delicious! This is going to be one of my go-to recipes!
    Thank you!

    This was a revelation! I’ve cooked pasta in the Instant Pot before, but never with seafood. I used half small, bay scallops with the shrimp and doubled the recipe. It made a HUGE amount, which was great because my family LOVED it. Thanks so much for posting! -Jenny

      Yes, but you would need to add that in after releasing the pressure.

    I made the recipe. I used Copy Me That and noticed that it doesn’t say in the instruction when to add the peas. I put them in when the pasta was ready and they were fine. We both loved it!

      That was Avi yelling. I’ve been wanting to introduce Junie Moon, who is heard in other videos, but I think people might be concerned if I picked up my cat after cooking. I’ll try to figure out something where she can be introduced when food isn’t all over the counter. We don’t let the cats on the counter or near the food. Jill
